When interviewed on racism George Stephanopoulis refuses to answer a simple question. For a guy who loves to talk, it's amazing to see George clam up when Jan questions him on racism.

  • This is so funny. I think Jan Henfield was trolling him. When he asked the question to give him an example, he wanted Stephanopoulos to admit that it is racism if you use race as a factor, which would make Stephanopoulos contradict himself--which he did, because he admitted it. Notice at 2:24-2:28 Jan Henfield smiles very slightly because he caught him out with wit and intelligence. After that, Jan proceeds to make his counter to which Stephanopoulos has no option but to be in the wrong. Smart.

  • @emilm thank you, send it to friends, they may get a kick out of it as well.

  • I just cant focus on the dialog, I keep staring at the TIE!!!

  • @med3S Watch George!

  • this was just like msnbc's dateline , busted.

  • Wow, I just made my last comment without knowing who and what Jan Helfeld does. I guess I was pretty accurate?

  • After watching all of your videos and then watching this one again, I am amazed that almost everyone fell into this contradiction the same way - and they even use the "sole factor" vs. "a factor" as their point of differentiation. It's like they've been prepped as to what the talking point should be.

  • Here is my take on race, & I think it is true regardless if you are a Evolutionist or a Creationist:

    There is only one Race & That Is THE HUMAN RACE!

    Whether by evolving or by a creator your skin is a different color because of the geographical location on the planet of your ancestors...PERIOD!

  • @janhelfeld Isn't racism a form of stereotyping? Isn't stereotyping a useful shortcut in determining characteristics even when it isn't accurate 100% of the time? I think that stereotyping can be rational and immoral. If a tiger walked in, you would consider that most, but not all, tigers are dangerous. It is unfair to all tigers because maybe a few tigers would be friendly, but it wouldn't be irrational to be afraid. Is my logic sound? So racism can be rational and immoral at the same time.

  • Man, that felt good.
